Live Virtual Auction by Arts Foundation of Cape Cod

Cynthia Packard’s oil on wood piece, titled A Symphony, is one of the highlighted lots in the upcoming Live Virtual Auction, offered by the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod. The painting uses light and dark colors to represent the moon and the sun as a metaphor for an orchestra playing music. The Pops by the Sea Commemorative Artist for 2020, Packard is recognized for her self-expressive paintings that influence Cape Cod’s art and cultural scenes. She attributes her creativity to the area’s distraction-free environment: “I feel really free here.”

This event offers 13 lots, all created by Cape Cod artists to promote, support, and celebrate the diversity of arts in Cape Cod. Among them is a set of two paper sculptures by Joyce Utting Schutter, together titled Equus Hexifolia Spring and Autumn. Made of paper pulp and organic materials, they symbolize the life cycle of a leaf. A series of four paintings by Dianna Braginton-Smith and her sister Heather Braginton-Smith is also available for sale. The lot includes an unfinished 1989 commemorative painting by Heather, created shortly before her death. Visit Bidsquare to view the entire catalog or to place a bid.
